🔬 Part 1: Reading About Plants

Read the passage below and answer the questions:

Plants need four main things to grow: sunlight, water, air, and nutrients from soil. The green parts of plants use sunlight to make food in a process called photosynthesis. Without sunlight, most plants cannot survive. Plants also need the right amount of water - not too much and not too little. The roots take in water and nutrients from the soil to help the plant grow tall and strong.
